To good fortune. During the kingship of Mithradates Euergetes in the 161st year in the month of Dios, the members of the brotherhood (phratores) resolved on the proposal of Daipos son of Kriton, who was priest: Whereas Alkimos son of Menophilos, commander (stratēgos; either a commander of the Pontic kingdom or of the city), has been honored by the association with a gold crown. And whereas, acknowledging our gratitude with numerous honors and benefactions, he has increased the brotherhood (phratra) and has also presented them with 200 silver drachmas and given gold crowns to several of the elders (presbyteroi). The members of the brotherhood resolved to both praise him and to write in the law of the members of the brotherhood the following: not only to make public proclamations of crowns at the current time for him and perpetual commendations according to what was resolved, but also from our descendants forever; to take the initiative in showing the same love of humanity towards him and his descendants; and, to have Matrios write this decree on a monument of white stone and to set it up near the temple of Zeus Poarinos (“of the Pastures”).
